What's wrong with my car?

Check you're battery cables. And all you're fuses.

Steering is powered by you're engine, so if that dies you lose power steering. But to lose hazards you're whole car is losing power.

I'm thinking it's a lose ground wire. Remember that the battery cables have 2 ends, so don't just wiggle the end connected to the battery, check the other ends too. Take the ends off and clean the area with a wire brush and bolt them back down tight and see if anything changes.

Is there a check engine light on? You can have that read for free at auto parts stores. That might help you out.

actualy.... check the hot cable on battery... (positive cable) its grounding out some where. when it grounds out you lose all power and engine die. engine dies that means no power steering etc.... you see you can actualy unhook the positive battery cable while engine is running and it will not die cause the alternator is what recharges the battery and can run everything... the alternator can give it the power it needs to run... once the engine is running you don't even need the battery in it in technicality. just saying as a example haha. obviously u need the battery it was just a example of what im trying to say.. it will run even if u unplug the cable from it... as long as the positive cable does not ground out (touching metal) so search your positive cable up and down very very closely for a shorting out spot... meaning its touching metal some where. follow it. even on the starter check it. check the wires that go to the start.

Usually that's a loose battery cable! Make sure there isn't any corrosion around the post and connector on the battery and make sure it is tightened down properly. If this doesn't work then you have some kind of electrical problem!

Could be a electrical issue. Perhaps a loose battery cable, or alternator is not charging the battery so battery cant hold a charge for long etc.

You arenot going to get a definite fault location from the internet with those symptoms.

Will be caused by something overheating or failing when naturally getting warm/hot, almost certainly electrical.

Basically you need to take it to a basic garage for a basic check over.

my car's engine is very bad,,

Basically, everything cuts off while I'm driving, no steering or hazard lights so it's a big problem. If I stop, wait a few minutes and turn the ignition back on, it's fine. If someone can tell me why this is happening BEFORE I take take it to the garage it would be a big help
